Rolling Maul

By David Simpson

The Rolling Maul exhibition has been in the pipeline for a while now - delayed several times by the Gallery's continued closure. However, B.165 contained a substantial feature on eight of the artists involved in the exhibition, and our plan is to extend this to the remaining artists in B.167.
Constraints of space limited the number of images that we could reproduce in Bulletin, but there are so many more! Here are some of my favourites.

What is it that they say about the best-laid schemes? It certainly seems to be the way at the moment; no sooner are we making plans then Mother Nature is knocking them over, or at least tilting them to one side. A case in point is Rolling Maul, which started out as the Gallery's head and-heart response to the devastation wrought on local artists' practices and studios by the September and February earthquakes.
